Winter Solstice wonders, birdseed crafts, Great Blue Heron sightings, and more! Read our January 2025 Ranger Ramblings now.

Unfortunately, most insects like moths are specialists, meaning they only eat one type of plant, and lay their eggs on these plants.

Often wheel-like or cylindrical “snowballs” are formed naturally as chunks of snow roll down hill picking up further snow along the way.

It sometimes takes awhile for students to realize the human impacts on the river, such as personal use and growing crops.

We participated in a silent hike, an egg dissection, and an egg experiment (pictured above), which was my favorite activity of the day.
